PRINCETON, N.J. -- Dartmouth senior Daniel
Keat and Princeton seniors Josh Wallburn
and Teddy Schneider were selected in the 2011
Major League Soccer (MLS) Supplemental Draft on Tuesday, January
18. Keat was selected by the LA Galaxy with the third pick in the
first round of the Supplemental Draft. Walburn was selected by the
Philadelphia Union in the second round as the 23rd pick overall.
Schneider was picked 30th by the New York Red Bulls in the same
round.

Keat moves on to the professional ranks after a stellar collegiate
career at Dartmouth. The midfielder earned All-Ivy honors four
times, including three times on the All-Ivy first team. He also
earned NSCAA All-Northeast honors three times (first team as a
junior and senior) and was an NSCAA third team All-America in 2009.
A two-time captain, he started 58 of 64 career games played and
graduated sixth all-time with 53 career points (20 goals, 13
assists). The flashy midfielder has also been a player on the
international scene, representing his native New Zealand at the
U-20 World Cup in 2007 and earning a spot on the 2008 Olympic team,
which he missed due to injury.

Walburn was named first-team All-Ivy the past two seasons, as well
a first-team all-region in 2010. He was named to the preseason
All-America list prior to the 2010 season and was also named one of
30 candidates for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award. After
missing the first four games because of an injury, Walburn started
the next 14 games and guided his team to a 12-2 record. He finished
as the league’s top assist getter with seven while scoring
six goals, four of which were game winners.

Schneider was named second-team All-Ivy in 2010 when he started all
18 games at left back. He scored one goal and finished second on
the team in assists with five. Schneider was named to the Princeton
All-Tournament team in September as part of the defense that
allowed just one goal in two games and tallying an assist.
Highlighting his season was earning two assists in a 3-0 shutout of
No. 13 Brown. Schneider was a part of the defense that has held
teams to 1.06 goals per game and allowed just 37.8 percent of shots
to make it on goal.

Keat, Wallburn and Schneider join Brown senior Jon
Okafor, who was selected in the third round of the 2011
MLS Super Draft with the 40th overall pick by Chivas USA, as recent Ivy Leaguers draftees. At least one
Ivy League student-athlete has been selected in the past five MLS
Super Drafts. Throughout the 2010 season five Ivy League alums
played in the MLS led by Brown’s Jeff
Larentowicz, who won the championship with the Colorado
Rapids.
